Born on May 12, 1942, the aesthetic chess player Otake Hero Jiudan, who was about to celebrate his seventy-ninth birthday, participated in two official competitions in four days on April 12 and 15, and faced Nie Weiping's son Kong Lingwen Seven Duan and the popular beauty star Hezhi Bao Sandan in the 60th Ten Dan Battle Qualifiers and the 47th Qiao Jizhan Qualifiers, respectively, and there were no small "accidents" in both games.
In March 2021, Hero Otake watched the game live in the press room on the fifth floor of the Japan Chess Academy.
In the ten-dan battle on April 12, Kong Lingwen, who was in charge of the black, gradually overtook in the balance of power in the first half of the game, and at the end of the middle game, the territory of the two sides was demarcated, and the number of black chess pieces was leading, with a winning rate of more than 90%. But Black 151 misread the lower left, and the winning rate fell by more than 70 points. Even if the hero of the big bamboo did not play the strongest means, after forming a double-alive situation, it was also the advantage of white chess.
But the hero of the big bamboo saw the wrong chess, the white 180 rush after the 182 digging looks like a series of magic hands, but the black 183 calmly picked up, the two sons of the white chess can not escape, the white chess win rate fell from 90% to 60%. White 182 If the right side of the road top, the two sons are safely connected at the same time, the black chess piece itself still has to make up for itself, the difference is huge. However, even so, the white chess still did not lose, from the point of view of the winning rate, the situation is subtle, and the officials can fight. However, after discovering his mistake, Otake Hero was in a bad mood and immediately threw himself into defeat.
Feeling that the situation is not good, in fact, it is still possible to concede defeat when it is still a struggle, and Otake Heroes has often been like this since his youth. As a "master brother under the Kakitani Gate" whose chess talent exceeds that of ordinary people, Otake Hero is considered to be "not strong in winning and losing" and "lack of tenacity", which is also related to this style. It's just that Go has entered the AI era, and the quality of the situation is clearly and clearly displayed to everyone who can play chess or can't play chess through the numbers given by AI, and this behavior of Otake can only become more and more rare in professional chess players.
If the game of chess that lost to Kong Lingwen was caused by personal habits, the match against Hosei Shiho on April 15 fully showed the "heroic twilight" side of Otake hero. At the beginning of the game, The big bamboo who held the white opened the situation with an excellent feeling using the remnants in the upper right corner, and the white 70 was like a tiger on the right side of 63, with a beautiful shape and a long situation.
The actual battle white 70 is fierce, the white 74 is as long as in the 75th position, it is still a protracted battle, but the white 74 intends to destroy this pilgrimage, from the perspective of coherence of thought, the white 66 two-way fly when the white chess has been prepared. However, Otake Hero is looking at the wrong Seiko here...
When black 75 is eaten, because there are 9 and 31 seeds in the lower right black chess, the white chess and the 28 son are actually not linked, and only concede defeat on the spot.
This is not the first time in recent years that Otake Hero has misread the sign, on May 30, 2019, in the quarterfinals of the last Masters Cup Elder Tournament, Otake Hero held black to meet Hideki Komatsu, Komatsu right lower white 30 sacrificed the big oblique set, black 41 gear early defeat. White 42 simply eats, and then fixes his eyes on the black three sons who have been conscripted to death, and the chess game won by 42 hands is frozen.
painted eggshell:
Ending the battle with 75 hands is not the shortest number of hands in three and a half months in 2021. A week ago, at the 77th Honinbo Battle Kansai Chess Academy Qualifier on April 7, Yu Masaki Yadan defeated Toshiya Imamura in the middle of the game with only 57 hands.
Black 47 pressure when the white 48 followed the retreat is defeated, such as in the 49th place turning rate is still about 35%, Imamura may not have thought of being covered by black 51, white chess has no way to escape.
